Popis: Recent numerical works on self-gravitating turbulence (Bonazzola et al., 1987; Leorat, Passot, Pouquet 1990) tend to show that turbulent velocity fields could act as a ”turbulentℍ pressure, i.e. inhibit the collapse of self-gravitating clouds. This effect is efficient when the caracteristic scale of the turbulent flow is small compared to the Jeans’s length. When these two scales are comparable, we show (Chantry, Grappin, Leorat, 1990) that the turbulence do no more inhibit the collapse, but seems to trigger it
